Abstract
An inflatable pet toy adopted for use in an inflated state and ambient air state. The inflatable pet toy includes an inner layer, an intermediate layer, and an outer layer. The inner layer forms a selectively inflatable bladder for receiving pressurized air. The inner layer is configured to resist bursting. The intermediate layer coupled to the inner layer. The outer layer substantially surrounds the intermediate layer.

An inflatable pet toy adapted for use in an inflated state and ambient air state comprising:
- an inner layer forming a selectively inflatable bladder for receiving pressurized air, the inner layer configured to resist bursting;
- an intermediate layer coupled to the inner layer;
- and
- an outer layer substantially surrounding the intermediate layer.
A method for making an inflatable pet toy adapted for use in an inflated state and an ambient air state, the method comprising:
- forming a selectively inflatable bladder for receiving pressurized air, the inflatable bladder configured to resist bursting;
- forming an intermediate layer which substantially surrounds the inflatable bladder, the intermediate layer being coupled to the inflatable bladder;
- and
- forming an outer layer which substantially surrounds the intermediate layer, the outer layer being coupled to the intermediate layer.
An inflatable pet toy adapted for use in an inflated state and ambient air state comprising:
- an inflatable bladder for selectively receiving pressurized air, after receiving pressurized air, the pet toy is in the inflated state and substantially assumes a desired shape, and substantially retains the desired shape when the pet toy is in the ambient air state in part as a result of a material property of the inflatable bladder;
- an intermediate layer coupled to the inflatable bladder;
- and
- an outer layer coupled to the intermediate layer.
